thanks, yeah i do fish with the lures that i make, in fact i don't use anything else than them now a days. trial and error method is a good learning method imo well i guess just experimenting will all kinds of stuff really is a excellent way to learn and come up with new ways of doing things.
@AngryLS1 as a sealer i use a mixture of titaniumoxside(also know and titan white powder) and clearcoat. the stuff that i mostly use for coating is invirotex epoxy, witch i usually have 3 thin layers each aplied when the previous layer is still not fully cured so that they will combine a chemical bond and sort of melt to each others to insure a tough finnish.
@arisingartist there is a method among lure builders overhere how you can get pretty close to a flaless and wringle free end result while using foil, its gonna be interesting to test how that works with bigger baits like here in the video.
@TheBowieman well i don't really get them from anywhere, i make them my self from prism sheet with a hollow punch trough bit and then just pain the round prism discs and transform them to eyes and add some epoxy. its pretty easy to do but takes some time to make em.
Really enjoying your vids, looking forward to airbrush tutorials. What type of wood do you prefer for "walking the dog" surface lures? I'm transitioning from fly tying to lure building!
@megadeth22885 its not really necessary your right there its just a little trick that i sometimes use when i want to add a 3d effect on the bait, i think that it makes the detail pop up more than just wood carved one. and you can do finer detail on this stuff too i just chose not to do any on this particular lure.
Have you tried using the putty to put rubber gills in ? i have done that before and it turns out really nice as opposed to gluing them in. You get a more realistic streamlined look in the end !
@PikemanLures for the crankbait in the video its too late already, ive sealed it and foiled it already. but for lures i've done in the past i have experimented with dorsal fins, for a crank bait there quite alright and don't disturb the swimming action too terribly, but for a lipless jerkbaits they tend to kill the swimming action pretty effectively so i've not done many of those in the past.
@LIFalcons99 been meaning to do this for the longest time just never seemed to have the time to do it.. next up is probably gonna be showing how to apply foil on that very same bait.
@firebasser mmm well i must say that i've never done a walk the dog type of lure, heck i've never done a surface lure of any kind before so i don't think I'm qualified to answer. but i guess most of the hard woods should work, probably it would be a good idea to search various fishing forums and check out what others are using.
@TheJerkFactory i've already shot some footage of how to so some foiling on lures using that particular lure thats on this video too i still have to edit it though. im sure that im gonna do some more of those painting technique vids too somewhere in the future.
@SolarBaits I just finished my first balsa crank bait. Its through wire internal weighted airbrushed then epoxy coated. Not really large enough for crazy details. Next one will be though. What do you coat yours with?
i strongly recommend, for those interested in sculpting details to use Epoxy putty instead of wood putty or automotive filler as those options are very toxic. options like miliput are excellent and they have a longer open time for sculpting.
@TheBowieman hey jim i actually have made a video of that already just browse my videos and you will find it. its basically the same way i do that now a days but instead of hollow punch troughs i just use flat eyes that you can buy from most tackle shops.
Hello Kayttajan, in all your videos you speak of painting, carving etc, etc but don't speak of structure metal inside the lure, as you do? Do you use eye screws?
i just dont get why going through all the trouble with the gill plates when you can carve them out by hand with a simple set of wood files.... i do finer detail than that on musical instruments without much more than the files... just seems like adding a rather inneccessary step

Your work is awesome! Fantastic job. :)
never done that before, but sounds like a cool idea
Ausome work , and yes you are an ARTIST. Long time fan , keep making vidios . Thanks
Very nice video,
Please load up more of those videos or maybe some new airbrush techniques.
Greatz from Wuppertal, Germany

It looks great idea. Can you share the name of the plastic that you used?
@LIFalcons99 been meaning to do this for the longest time just never seemed to have the time to do it.. next up is probably gonna be showing how to apply foil on that very same bait.
Great video, as are your others as well!! Could I ask why you use plastic putty versus a wood filler/putty?
it was basically the only thing i had handy at the time of making this video.

@SolarBaits i could actually carve that same 3D effect into the balsa and youd never know the difference after it was painted
@TheJerkFactory i've already shot some footage of how to so some foiling on lures using that particular lure thats on this video too i still have to edit it though. im sure that im gonna do some more of those painting technique vids too somewhere in the future.
As you introduce the wire inside the lure? Lure parts in half or make holes for inserting the wire?
@arisingartist yep exactly thats the method i meant i just need to get a big enough sponge for the lure.
i use both screw eyes and wire form
even tough i dont live there, i would suspect hardware stores probably have similar stuff that i used here

Is there any reason to do this afterwards? Why not incorporate the gill plates into the master? Seems like it would be easier, no?
What do you use to make the scale shaped like the real thing, instead of using a small net
Do you also use the putty for the lips
Hello Kayttajan, in all your videos you speak of painting, carving etc, etc but don't speak of structure metal inside the lure, as you do? Do you use eye screws?
@AngryLS1 thanks mate ;)
Can you make scales using this method ?
yep i do
are there any other names for it? i couldent find polyester filler
very nice
What would it be called? platic putty?
those 2 are the only names i know of that its called, could be that the stores you visited don't have it
most just saw a slot for the wire and glue it in
where can you get this Plastic puddy stuff. like in america. PLEASE ANSWER?
that or polyester filler, witch is basically the same stuff
do you think a wood puddy would work?
i dont really know i've never used that.
I'll give it a shot.. thank you and keep up the awesome work
i guess you could but carving them into wood it self probably would be a better method
do you have any templates for the designs of bait you use?
i dont share those you are going to have to come up with your own
not a problem ty
this is just another way of adding details to lures besides carving them straight to wood.
i just dont get why going through all the trouble with the gill plates when you can carve them out by hand with a simple set of wood files.... i do finer detail than that on musical instruments without much more than the files... just seems like adding a rather inneccessary step
The Stodoys site offers plans for this and many other interesting items.
